While watching her 11-year-old son, Egypt’s first performance at the 2019 iHeartRadio Music Awards, American singer, and songwriter, Alicia Keys got misty-eyed.

While watching their performance of “Raise a Man,” the mother of two says “this is the first time that he’s ever done anything like this,” she continues “is he going to be okay? I don’t know. It just hit me like a ton of bricks outta the side.”

The New York native expresses that Egypt has a natural musical talent, and enjoys he shares the same enthusiasm for music as her.

“I’m not the crying type; I’m really not,” she emotionally expresses. “But you get so sensitive just thinking about how life goes on, and seeing him next to me and remembering that moment. That moment was the first time that he performed with me on stage, and I remember being completely so wrapped up in him being okay because I asked him to do it.”
